I am currently using a headset spacer cable cross bike. I would like to slam my stem all the way down. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with drilling their stem as a cable stop. I was talking to the Thomson rep at gloucester and he said that if you drill in through the side and out through the bottom, that it passed their fatigue tests. Not sure if this would be true with all stems or if anyone has any experience with it. I have a Ritchey WCS 4-Axis stem. On my pit bike I have a Cannondale OEM C3 stem (125 grams!) My pit bike doesn't need to be slammed, but I would prefer it.

If the thomson stem passes their fatigue tests with two holes drilled in the middle of their extension, then every one of their stems should come with those holes predrilled. Theyre clearly not trying hard enough.

\Not everyone has cantis

i kinda meant that they should drill their stems for weight savings, or thin out the walls, etc.

The thomson representative said that he drilled holes in one of their stems and then put it through their fatigue tests. It was not hypothetical, sorry for the confunsion.

Regarding the using a headset cable stop, That is what I am using. The issue is that the housing bend is very severe, so the brake feels like trash, and I want to put my stem even lower, aka no headset spacer cable stop.
